Qingqiu, in the secret realm.

The group of people got the medicinal herbs that Ming Qi needed, they were all excited, and turned back all the way, no one thought that there would be a sudden explosion and collapse in this secret place.

Xue Rong and Xue Tai were originally sent by Changning to protect the young master. They turned their heads at the same time when they heard the movement, and found that there was only a piece of rubble and smoke left behind, and Shu Lingjia, who was walking at the end, had disappeared.

The two turned pale with fright, and rushed over to check with other Fox clan members.

Shu Lingjia is the young master of the Fox Clan, with an extraordinary status, and the series of actions just now are convincing. When he found out that something happened to him, not only the people of the Fox Clan were anxious, but the other people present were also shocked, and gathered around to express their concern.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Xue Rong was so anxious that he was about to cry. He desperately pushed aside a few huge boulders with his hands, and found a narrow gap underneath.

It was pitch black underneath, and there was even some dizzying faint magic energy, but there was no one at all, and the gravel was piled up together, leaving almost no gaps.

It was difficult for him to find, but he heard a few clanging swords above his head, and several stones next to him were picked away by the sword.

Then, Meng Cong, a Qizong disciple who had been rescued by Shu Lingjia before, jumped down silently and helped Xue Rong find someone together.

Jiang Rong originally had an anxious expression on his face, but when he saw that Meng Cong, who came with him, was so anxious for Shu Lingjia, his expression turned cold for a moment, but then returned to normal.

These disciples of Ming Jianfeng have been under his command for nearly two years, but they still can't agree with him, and it is difficult to cultivate them as confidants.

"You guys, please don't worry too much. With the young master's skills, it is impossible to be hit by gravel."

Jiang Rong said: "He's definitely fine, but it might not be easy for a while, so let's come and help, and we can always find someone."

Xue Tai felt that although the so-called genius of the Lingxiao faction liked to brag, he was an enthusiastic person after all, so he was very grateful, and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Jiang Rong smiled slightly.

He knew in his heart that of course Shu Lingjia would not be injured by the gravel, but the Myriad Demon Eye below was originally a very dangerous place, and there was an unidentified top expert inside.

I accidentally took half a step by mistake just now, and was almost crushed to death by that person's coercion. Shu Lingjia fell directly with such a big movement, and the other party would definitely be angry.

When the two sides fought, the best result would be that Shu Lingjia was killed by him. Even if this expectation was unfortunately not realized, Jiang Rong had nothing to lose, it was just a secret murder with a borrowed knife.

There are piles of rocks all around, and because it is in a secret place, I am afraid it will cause another collapse. Everyone present has a lot of spiritual power, but they dare not use it too much, which makes the process of finding someone more difficult.

Xue Rong kept calling for the young master, but no one answered, almost crying out of anxiety.

At this time, two fox tribe members rushed over from the front and shouted: "Arong, Atai!"

Xue Tai hurriedly said: "You guys are here! Something happened to the young master, did the elder receive the news? What did he say?"

The fox man said: "The elder knows, and he will come to look for the young master in person immediately. You take the guests out first, and leave this place to us. Otherwise, it will be too crowded with so many people, and it will be difficult to find people."

They are all fox seniors who have gone to the secret realm before, so although Xue Tai and Xue Rong are anxious, they have no choice but to obediently go up.

When they got outside the secret place, they realized that the other people had also come out earlier, and the three herbs needed by the fox patriarch had already been found.

There are a lot of treasures in this secret realm, everyone has their own gains, and they are all in a good mood, standing together with their acquaintances, chatting and laughing.

It wasn't until Jiang Rong and others came up later and heard that something had happened to Young Master Qingqiu that everyone was surprised.

Seeing that the time is not short, Changning has not shown up for a long time. If there is no one to be found, or even a report, then something must have happened, and the possibility of Shu Lingjia's safety is very small.

It is said that although this son was born after many calamities, the patriarch Ming Qi loves this only son very much, and even the whole fox clan pays tribute to him like stars.No one knows who Ming Xiao's father is, but he seems to be a very mysterious and noble person.

Because of this, even if it had nothing to do with the people present, if something happened to this little ancestor, the fox clan would inevitably be in chaos, which would not be a good thing for them.

Jiang Rong was probably the only one who was silently happy.

Standing in the crowd right now, he could hardly control his excitement.

I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

Maybe, maybe in the future, he won't have to see Shu Lingjia again, and he won't have to be afraid that the other party will surpass him, expose him, and take back his status and spiritual talent!

After a while, Changning came out of the secret place with a disheveled face and a serious expression.

Everyone went forward with concern, and someone asked: "Elder Changning, have you still not found Young Master Ming?"

Changning shook his head: "There is no trace."

Jiang Rong also frowned. If you want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death. What's the matter with saying that there are no traces?

He said: "The space in the secret realm is limited. No matter what, it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air. Could there be something that has not been taken care of? If the elders are willing to trust, the disciples of Lingxiao Qizong are willing to help together, and then go in Look for."

Jiang Rong's tone was concerned, and it sounded like he was more concerned about Shu Lingjia's whereabouts than Chang Ning, who gave up halfway when he couldn't find anyone. The managers of some sects around him also had to secretly sigh that he would be a man, and they all agreed to help contribute.

Chang Ning took a deep look at Jiang Rong and said, "Young Master Jiang, don't worry, although I didn't find anyone, I found some other clues here."

Jiang Rong felt that what he said seemed a bit yin and yang, so he was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Chang Ning say: "The collapse of that cave in the secret realm was not accidental, but it seemed to be blown up artificially."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The leading disciple of Xinzong asked: "Elder Changning, do you mean that someone deliberately harmed Young Master Ming?"

Changning said bluntly: "Not bad."

In this way, everyone who entered the secret realm just now is suspect, and the most suspicious one is naturally the group of people who traveled with Shu Lingjia just now.

Jiang Rong felt a little flustered in his heart, he didn't know if it was because of his guilty conscience, when Chang Ning spoke, his eyes always seemed to be looking at him.

It is impossible for the other party to find anything, he is absolutely sure that he will never leave any flaws when he acts.However, Shu Lingjia's whereabouts are unknown at present, and he is afraid that something will happen to him.

At this time, there was a commotion not far from the secret realm, and then someone shouted loudly: "Elder! Elder! The body of the young master has been found!"

Jiang Rong turned his head and looked, not only the others were taken aback, but even Changning was completely unexpected, and said in a voiceless voice: "What?"

A little brown fox ran over on four legs like flying. When it came to Changning, it rolled over and turned into a human form, sobbing and said: "Elder, we just found the body of the young master on the back mountain outside the secret place. .”

As he spoke, he pointed behind him, and saw two people walking over carrying a corpse, it was Ming Xiao.

"Ling, Ling...Young Master?"

Changning never expected that things would turn out like this, his feet went limp, and he jumped up and half knelt next to the corpse to check.

He was so frightened that his hands trembled, but it turned out that this person was not Shu Lingjia, but Ming Xiao who had been pretending to be the young master of the fox clan before.

Chang Ning put his hand on the opponent's chest, and frowned.

He hadn't heard from Mingxiao for a long time, but he didn't expect that something happened to him.

This child is an orphan, and was taken care of by the elders of the clan in turn. He has always been honest, never offended anyone, and has no ambitions.

Such a character is also part of the reason why Changning chose to let him pretend to be the young master.

Ming Xiao's ability is not great, but compared to ordinary people, it is definitely enough to protect himself. How could he lose his life so inexplicably?How could the corpse appear here?

It can't all be designed by Jiang Rong!

Chang Ning raised his head abruptly, looking at Jiang Rong with lightning-like eyes.

Unlike Chang Ning, Jiang Rong had no idea that Ming Xiao existed in this world, he really thought that this corpse was Shu Lingjia.I didn't expect success to come so easily. At that time, it took all my strength to keep myself from laughing out loud.

He concealed his expression, lowered his head and looked at the string of beads on his wrist, but was a little disappointed to find that the faded bead had not returned to its original emerald green color.

This shows that Shu Lingjia's death not only did not greatly increase his strength, but even the strength he lost before did not come back. It seems that the value of the other party has been squeezed out.

At this moment, Jiang Rong suddenly heard a whisper in his mind.

"Do you want more power?"

Jiang Rong was startled for a moment, but then he was overjoyed.

It was this voice back then that brought him extraordinary talent and countless good luck, but it has not appeared for a long time.

Afraid that the other party would disappear, she hurriedly replied in her mind: "You are finally here again! Think about it, of course I think about it! Even though I am a genius now, there are still a group of people who don't respect me at all, even Suppress everywhere, if I am stronger, how dare they do this!"

The voice said: "Defeat the Fox Clan, weaken the Fox Clan, use them to build your prestige and reflect your value. Step on the power of this world one by one, and then you will naturally be the strongest person. "

"Go, it's a rare opportunity, go quickly."

Chang Ning had already made preparations to completely reveal Jiang Rong's disguise today. He knew that Shu Lingjia was fine, and he also knew that he couldn't really do anything to Jiang Rong. He just wanted to take this opportunity to let him remember and save money. This sinister and mean boy is always a monster.

But the appearance of Ming Xiao's corpse disrupted his plans and even his mind - although the relationship with Ming Xiao is not as close as that of Shu Lingjia, but they are also his clansmen!

"Elder Changning, please express your condolences. The most urgent task at the moment is to see if the young master is still alive, and then talk about other things."

Zhang Xiang, a doctor from the Jinghai School, came out and said, "May I check the cause of his death?"

A few people from the Jinghai faction were on the same team as Shu Lingjia just now, and they all admired him and accepted his favor, so they also enthusiastically exuded kindness at this time.

Changning also felt that this was an urgent matter, so he stepped aside.

After Zhang Xiang looked at it, he found that there was no wound on this person's body, and there was no hidden wound in his body, but he had lost his soul and could not be saved at all.

He shook his head involuntarily, regretfully said: "Sorry, I can't help it... This way of dying is really strange."

Just as Chang Ning sighed, he heard someone excitedly say behind him: "How could this happen!"

He turned his head and saw Jiang Rong running forward in three steps at a time, grabbed Ming Xiao's hand, and called out sincerely: "Senior brother!"

Changning: "...what did you say?"

Jiang Rong suddenly raised his head to look at him, and said, "Elder Chang Ning, I didn't want to cause more trouble, but when the matter has developed to this point, I really have no way to cover it up for you."

Pointing at Ming Xiao's body, he turned around and said to everyone present: "This is not the young master of the Fox Clan at all, he is pretending, and his real identity is my brother Shu Lingjia!"

Shu Lingjia's reputation is not small, and when Jiang Rong's words came out, all the people present were in an uproar.

Song Yun said: "Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Rong said: "Could it be that you didn't recognize his body skills and attack habits in the secret realm just now? In fact, I have already discovered that this young master of Ming Xiaoming is exactly what Senior Brother Shu pretended to be, but At that time, I was afraid that I would hinder what my senior brother was going to do, so I didn't open my mouth to recognize each other."

He blamed himself and couldn't believe it: "But I didn't expect that he would be killed in such a short time!"

His words also seemed to hint vaguely that it was because he knew Shu Lingjia's identity just now that he didn't compete with him for the limelight.

Hearing this, several Qizong disciples were shocked, they looked at each other, and remembered some of Mingxiao's actions in the secret realm before, the more they thought about it, the more they resembled it.

"Could it be that this... is really Senior Brother Shu? He didn't use Ling Xiao's moves, and I didn't even recognize them!"

A disciple stuttered in shock, looking at the corpse in disbelief: "This, this... how could Senior Brother Shu die!"

Their expressions of shock and sudden realization also imperceptibly verified Jiang Rong's words.

When the people around thought about Ming Xiao's performance in the secret realm just now, they also felt that it was reasonable. They were originally wondering why the young master of the fox clan could have such abilities, but if it was Shu Lingjia, then it was normal.

Jiang Rong was full of anger: "How did Senior Brother Shu die? This question should be asked to the Fox Clan. Your real young master has been in hiding for many years and has never shown up in front of others, but let people from our Lingxiao faction pretend to be an accident. , Elder Changning, won’t you give me an explanation?”

It is obvious that he did everything, but at this moment, he can still be filled with righteous indignation, and demand an explanation to others in a dignified manner, Chang Ning is almost admirable.

He has been in charge of the fox clan for the patriarch for so many years, and he has also experienced great storms. Now he has seen through Jiang Rong's intentions.

The other party clearly felt that Changning would find someone to pretend to be the real patriarch's son in order to control the power of the fox clan.Jiang Rong wanted to start from Changning, and put Shu Lingjia's death on the fox clan's head, so as to suppress the fox clan.

Ambitious.

Changning took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Jiang, do you want to explain? Alright, let's settle this account bit by bit."

He turned his head and asked, "Just now, have the guests who are coming to visit arrive?"

His men replied: "Yes, it's outside."

Changning said, "Go and invite."

When he saw the person walking in, Jiang Rong was startled, the expression on his face subconsciously restrained a lot, he got up and said, "Senior Brother Yin?"

It turned out that it was Yin Chen who brought Xiao Ning'er and some Ling Xiao disciples to Qingqiu.

This was not designed by Chang Ning. He had just come out of the secret realm when he heard someone report that Yin Chen of Lingxiao Qizong had brought some disciples to visit, but he didn't know what it was for.

When Changning heard it, he felt that it was just right for him to come, so he invited him here at the same time.

Yin Chen is a domineering bully, and Jiang Rong was really afraid of him from the first day he went up the mountain. At this moment, he was surprised and suspicious, and asked, "Why is senior brother here?"

Yin Chen always looked down on Jiang Rong, so he didn't pay attention to him at this time, but Xiao Ning'er followed behind and turned her head, giving Jiang Rong a white look.

Yin Chen didn't know what happened just now, so he casually scanned Ming Xiao's body, seeing if he knew him, he didn't pay much attention.

He directly explained to Chang Ning the reason for his visit: "I heard that Elder Chang Ning and my senior brother Shu Lingjia have been friends for many years. Now, under the order of my master, I came to pick up my senior brother back to the mountain. Some people said that he had appeared near Qingqiu recently. I wonder if Elder Changning has seen him before?"

Before Chang Ning could answer, the Qizong disciple who came with Jiang Rong couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted at Yin Chen: "Senior Brother Yin, Senior Brother Shu has... been killed!"

Yin Chen suddenly turned his head and shouted, "What did you say?!"

They came here just for Shu Lingjia, everyone was shocked when they heard this, the disciple had tears in his eyes, rushed forward, and told Yin Chen what happened just now.

Xiao Ning'er made a big fuss this time and was able to follow Yin Chen down the mountain. She had thought about how to persuade Shu Lingjia to go back along the way, but she didn't expect to hear such news.

She swayed, then fell headlong, and even fainted on the spot.
